Regardless on whether or not you liked the pick, you have to admit this was tough to see coming. If you polled these boards in May and asked if people thought Ross would end with 0 catches and would be so bad the Bengals would consider a move to CB, no one would've said that. People were more worried about injuries and not needing a WR (which I still strongly disagree with).
The scouting reports all said he ran good routes (every route in the tree), had great hands, amazing producer, and universally mocked AT LEAST in the top 20 of every mock I looked at (I looked at a bunch). On paper, he sounded like everything we've needed opposite AJ. Shame he's turning into an insta-bust.
Btw, not surprised that Marv would want to turn Ross into yet another 1st round CB.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
